I'm operating on windows vista and every time I try to play a game, it tells me macromedia projector has an error and must close. I have tried everything to fix this, it just won't work. Any suggestions on what else I can do? I mean, the game was working fine last week. What should I do?

Re: I'm operating on windows vista and every time I try...

Hi there,If you have Vista instead of XP, click on the desktop shortcut to the game, go to "Property", click on the "Compatiblity" tab and put a check in "Run this program in compatiblity mode for:, now try all the choices in the dropdown box (win95, win98/win me,etc. etc) one at a time til it works. Hope this works.Good Luck!neo

The error "macromedia projector has encountered a problem and needs to close" can occur, if the Macromedia projector files in system is corrupt ormissing. You can resolve the issue by downloading and installing the latestversion of Macromedia softwares from the URL given below:

I have had same problem last time. What I did was run Program Compatibility Wizard and next set compatibility to win98 (dont remember if that is the one I choose, but you can test it). No idea what does it have to do with it, but it solved problem in my case. Hope it will help you.
